Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. "Be still," they say. "Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands."

Our Intention
What is the Day of the Dead, and why is it so important?
While it is often related to Halloween, since it is around the same time of year, the Day of the Dead is an ancient, pre-Colombian festival to honor the dead. (If you've seen the movie Coco, you know the incredible beauty and importance of the Day of the Dead to Mexico. If you haven't seen it; put it on your watchlist.)
National Geographic writes: Day of the Dead originated several thousand years ago with the Aztec, Toltec, and other Nahua people… For these pre-Hispanic cultures, death was a natural phase in life's long continuum. The dead were still members of the community, kept alive in memory and spirit-and during Día de los Muertos, they temporarily returned to Earth.

HEATHERASH AMARA, the author of Warrior Goddess Training. She first journeyed to Teotihuacan in 1996 with don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements and has led many powerful journeys and retreats there.
As I wrote about in Warrior Goddess Training, many years ago I was part of a small group of women who traveled to the pyramids of Teotihuacan, Mexico, following a vision of connecting with the female ancestors of this sacred heart of the Toltec path. The journey was pure magic, culminating in a blessed miracle atop the pyramid of the sun.
We stood at the top of the pyramid in a circle, a small group of women praying and chanting for the healing of the planet’s waters and people.We held a small golden chalice filled with water in our hands, and our voices and hearts melded together, bringing tears to many of our eyes at the beauty of sisterhood and connection. When we opened our eyes we found we were completely surrounded by women, men, and children praying with us. They began to reach out to reverently touch us, to pass us jewelry to bless with the water, even to pass us their babies to bless! We spent the next hour acting as priestesses: hugging, blessing with water, and sharing our love with everyone around us, many of whom had tears streaming down their faces as we did.
